Mike Preston grades the Ravens' 19-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers

Quarterbacks: C-

Karl Merton Ferron, Baltimore Sun

Joe Flacco had a lot of passing yards in the second half and most of those came late once Green Bay started playing a lot of soft zone coverages. Flacco needs to get off to a fast start in upcoming games. This offense drags as he drags, and he missed several open receivers in the first half. He also had several fumbles and held onto the ball too long while taking sacks. Grade: C-

Ray Rice finished with 34 yards on 14 carries and backup Bernard Pierce, pictured, had 9 yards on six rushing attempts. There aren't any holes, and the Ravens don't run through or break many tackles. Memo to the coaching staff: no more passes down the field to fullback Vonta Leach. You're kidding, right? Grade: D
